I don't think for myself, it's primarily the fault of bots, misinformation and ads. It's.... Us. We're not as interesting as we like to think we are and I have just gotten exhausted slogging through the "look what I can do" posts.

It's much more rewarding for me to follow videos or threads of people actually creating something that interests me than it is to scroll through feeds consisting of online acquaintances posting memes, pics of purchases, food and locales.

My preferred medium is YouTube subs via freetube of channels whose content appeals to me(carpentry, car builds, mtb, etc). I don't use any social aspects of the platform, I just like to watch the content.
